A NEW video has been released one year to the day of how the record for the world's highest skydive was broken and how the sound barrier was smashed by a human for the first time.

Baumgartner's amazing feat was meticulously documented by Red Bull, who have produced a new documentary from footage taken from cameras on Baumgartner's helmet and on the balloon he took him back to earth. Red Bull has released a teaser video from Baumgartner's perspective.

Also embedded are mission statistics, such as air speed, elevation and biometrics. Baumgartner passed 1287kmh in the initial states of his fall to earth and that the forces pushing against his body were the most difficult at that point. The only other time he experienced the same G-forces during his decent was when he pulled his chute at 9000ft.

"My fight with the suit, because it was so scary and uncomfortable for me that I didn't think I could overcome the feeling. But I worked with a very good therapist for three months and we got through it, and that made me feel like anything was possible," he said.

Asked he ever dreamt about his skydive from the edge of space, he was blunt.

"Never, I have just completely absorbed it. That was an incredible experience and I am very lucky, but I have a different life now."

Baumgartner is training to be a mountain rescue pilot.
